Pits are addicting, I must say. After owning a gopher for less than a month, I decided it was time for a pine, so I bought a three year old female Northern pine today. She's a beautiful, gentle snake, I'm already taken with her. She's right at about four feet, I'm curious if she'll get any bigger. Thanks!

Yes, assuming you feed her.

I'm certain she'll get bigger. How fast that will be, or how long she'll end up is hard to guess. But six feet is easily achieved and I have seven foot pines in my collection. It comes down to feeding and genetics. Enjoy your new pet, as I agree, Pits are awesome!

Yep, I'm already very taken with the big girl. I fed her today, she took a medium sized rat with ease. I'll probably be feeding her about every five days or so, so I'm assuming she'll put on some size. I'd love to see the big girl hit seven feet.

Congrats!! Northern Pines are great. I have female that's also three and she's about 6'. I'm sure your's will put on some size too.
